Baroness Goldie DL, who is also the minister for defence in the House of Lords, said: “The Estate Optimisation portfolio is fundamental to the future of defence. From service, and family living accommodation, to specialist facilities such as hangars, command headquarters and medical facilities, this is the largest and most ambitious defence infrastructure investment portfolio that we have as a department. At the heart of this is making life better for our people.
